This morning after 4 hours of use laptop suddenly decided to go to standby.
Since then there are two scenarios:
1. I boot Windows
It gets to desktop and no matter if I surf on web or play the NFS after 30 seconds - 10 minutes it goes to standby by itself.
I can get back to windows BUT the screen stays blacked out (in fact it shows the picture but it is so dark that on the first glance it looks like it is off). When I use FN key combination to turn the touchpad on/off the screen blinks with normal picture for half a second but that's all. What's more, even if I get out of standby windows goes back there after (usually) few seconds or (rarely) one minute.
2. I boot linux from bootable CD (Damn Small Linux). Instead of standby only screen goes black (as before - there is still a picture, just so dark that the screen looks like off).
Also, the second scenario happens when I am in BIOS.
It happens both on AC power (with and without battery inside) and on battery.
I changed the bios, unplugged almost everything (including keyboard, touchpad, HDD, memory and LCD.
If I manage to turn off the laptop after it returned from standby, it will not go on again. There is no reaction on pressing the power button. I tried on AC, on battery. The only way I got it up again is (I presume) by some combination of consequent switching it between AC and battery.
Mind lending me a hand with that?
